On the other hand, the school also encourages its students to partake in communal environmental activities so as to instill in them the concept of environmental protection. |
Learning and Teaching Plan | ||
(1) Whole-school Language Policy | : | Placing a high value on "biliteracy and trilingualism", our school endeavours to enhance students' language ability and communication skills through both normal lessons and extra-curricular activities. Chinese is adopted as the medium of instruction from F.1 to F.3 in order to enhance the learning effectiveness of students. At the same time, some subjects will be taught in English to those students that are capable to learn in this language. F.4-F.6 students can choose either English or Chinese as the medium of instruction in some subjects, such as Biology, Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. In addition, the school arranges some English bridging courses for F.4 students so as to prepare them for upper forms. |
(2) Learning and Teaching Strategies | : | By means of Life-Wide Learning: Project Learning, Reading to Learn, Moral and National Education and Information in Technology, student's self-learning initiatives can be fostered, and thereby students will be able to develop a positive attitude towards life. In addition, Continuous Assessment, being formally adopted, is to give both teachers and students a better understanding of the effectiveness of teaching and learning. School-based curriculum has been devised in some subjects in order to cater for students' potential, abilities and needs. It is hoped that students will have higher aspirations to learn. Moreover, there are various reading programmes including Chinese and English Extensive Reading Programme, Parents-Child Reading Scheme and Writing Class (Chinese Language) and Reading To Learn Programme. |
(3) School-based curriculum | : | 1. Electives: 2X and 3X. Students can have 3 electives in S.4. Our school offers over 30 combinations of elective subjects to students, and they can choose according to their interest and ability. 2. Curriculum highlights: The core subjects, namely, Chinese, English and Mathematics (F.1 to F.3) are tailor-made in order to meet the needs of students in the process of learning. |
(4) Development of the Four Key Tasks | : | 1. Project Learning: It is done on a form and subject basis. Initially, the junior form students are expected to acquire certain skills through inter-curricular project learning. Later on, project learning will be extended to other subjects and as one of the items of continuous assessment. 2. IT Scheme: The school has provided an MMLC, a CAL Room and a Language Room. Every classroom is equipped with a desktop computer, a projector and a visualizer in order to implement interactive learning. In Year 2020, our school acquired a Quality Education Fund for 1.6 million dollars to promote STEM education and to establish an IOT room and renew the Design Thinking and Technology Room. Our school promotes “Bring-Your-Own-Device” (BYOD) policy in junior forms. The use of electronic devices allows interactive learning to take place both inside and outside of the classroom setting. We also offer assistance to eligible students in applying for government subsidies and lend devices to students depending on their needs. 3. Student Learning - Reading Scheme: To create a learning atmosphere in school, talks, quality-book sharing and recommendation, as well as a morning reading session are all activities designed to encourage more individual learning. 4. Moral and National Education: Through various means such as designated activities on Moral and National Education, positive values education among students can be promoted. Recently, the school has actively got the students to learn about traditional Chinese values and virtues such as diligence, compliance, empathy, perseverance and responsibility. |
(5) Life Planning Education | : | The major work is to let students have a thorough understanding of their own abilities, values, work style and interest through talks in class, visits and activities in which students can have different kinds of working experience. The classification of different types of occupation and the characteristics required will be introduced to the students so that they can do some introspection before setting a goal and drawing up a plan for their future life. |
Student Support | ||
(1) Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity | : | In order to strengthen the caring culture at our school, the Guidance Team has carried out a variety of activities, such as a Peer Counselling Programme, Project “Hope”, a “Good Values” Award Scheme and “All-Stars: I Can”. The common purpose of all of these programmes has been to help our students to learn and to grow in a harmonious environment. Moreover, inclusive education is one important aspect of our school. With this in mind, a support team is established. It is to help those students who have learning difficulties. This involves individual counseling and adjustment of teaching and learning processes as well as assessment. The team keeps close contact with parents. Moreover, our school arranges enrichment and remedial classes of Chinese Language, English Language and Mathematics for junior form students. In addition, there is an Elite Student Scheme in each subject in both junior and senior forms to further enhance the ability of the outstanding students. |
(2) Whole School Approach to Integrated Education | : | Our school has adopted a whole-school approach to carry out inclusive education. A Student Support Team was set up for planning, implementing, and reviewing the work in inclusive education. Every year, the teachers take courses to enhance teachers' professional ability to cater for learner diversity. Our school uses the Learning Support Grant (LSG) and the school resources to provide diversified support for the students with special educational needs (SEN) like employing a Learning Support Officer, student counsellors and event assistants who assist in students' learning. They arrange activities such as social skills training and provide after-school support. The team will also arrange different after-school activities to develop students' interests and potential so that they can have self-understanding and life planning earlier. Our school will purchase the service of a speech therapist and an occupational therapist who will provide professional training for SEN students. Our school also helps them to make an application for special examination arrangements in the public examinations and provides them with assessment accommodation for internal tests and examinations. Moreover, our school enhances the learning effectiveness of SEN students through diversified curriculum design, teaching and learning strategies, optimized tiered tasks and assignments. Besides cooperating with the school educational psychologist and other professionals, we have regular meetings and assessments for students. We also invite parents to attend the meetings and participate in the workshops to draw up specific learning plans for the students and review the effectiveness of the plans together regularly. |
(3) Education Support for Non-Chinese Speaking(NCS) Students | : | Our school provides additional support for NCS students to facilitate their learning of Chinese: providing after-school support programmes in learning Chinese; appointing additional teacher(s)/teaching assistant(s) to support NCS students’ learning of Chinese; and organising cultural integration activities. |
(4) Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment | : | Two regular Continuous Assessments (CA) and two exams are conducted every year. Project learning is included in every subject. Moreover, there is a pre-exam prior to mock exam for F.6, and there are also elite classes and summer classes for F.5 – F.6. The purpose is to help those who have potential further enhance their performance. |

In 2015, our school was very honoured to be awarded the first 'Most Active School in Promoting Parent Education' by the Federation of Parent-Teacher Associations of Hong Kong – Eastern District. |
(2) School Ethos | : | Our school spirit is ‘be modest and positive’, and our students like school life. As the relationship between teachers and students is good, the students have a strong sense of belonging to the school. As part of the Lasallian Spirit our school aims to provide an open, free, caring and pleasant learning environment. To this end, we have implemented a wide range of programmes, such as Big Brothers' Scheme, Sze-Chai Shield, Joint Discipline-Guidance Policy, etc. All these help students understand the aims of education so that they will work hard, develop themselves as men of integrity and contribute to society. |
